DELHI TWP. — Imagine a Del-hi Pike with an Olive Gardenrestaurant, a frozen yogurtshop, women’s clothing stores, afabrics shop, an antiques mall, anice steak joint and an indoorswimming facility.
Those are some ideas Delhiresidents have for the town-ship’s main business corridor.As the township continues towork on its Strategic Redevel-opment Plan for Delhi Pike, theDelhi Press asked readers fortheir thoughts regarding thepike’s future.
Several readers responded,emailing their suggestions forwhat can be done to improve theexperience for those who dine,work and shop along the pike.
Kimberly McGinnis, who re-cently moved to the townshipfrom Reading, said she is excit-ed about changes to Delhi Pike.
“We love it over here,” shesaid. “Yes, there are a fewthings that would be great tohave here instead of having togo across the river or to West-ern Hills. I would like to keepDelhi thriving and have mymoney be spent where I live.”
Her ideas include attractingTexas Roadhouse, Cracker Bar-rel, First Watch and Cheddar’srestaurants, and retail storesthe likes of Lane Bryant, Cath-erine’s, Menards and JoAnnFabrics.
“We need more sit-downtypes of places to eat instead offast food,” McGinnis said. “And
there really are not many placesto shop in Delhi or the WestSide.”
She said it might be nice toturn one of the larger vacantproperties into a shopping cen-ter similar to Rookwood Com-mons in Norwood.
Township resident BillieD’Erminio suggested an Or-ange Leaf frozen yogurt storeand an Olive Garden restaurant.
“All of the West Side haswanted one (Olive Garden),”D’Erminio said. “More upscaledining options and less fastfood. It would be wonderful ifwe could lure businesses thatWest Siders would have to driveto Delhi to visit.”
The township has hired ur-ban planning firm Stantec Con-sulting to assist in creating aplan to revitalize Delhi Pike,and hosted kick-off meeting forthe “Plan the Pike” projectApril 29. More than 120 resi-dents and business owners at-tended the meeting to provideinput and learn how other com-munities have used redevelop-ment to transform commercialareas into more pedestrian-friendly, community-orientedcenters.
Steve Kearney, project man-ager for Stantec, said his firmwill conduct market-drivenanalysis of the business corri-dor to determine potential rede-velopment sites, come up withdevelopment concepts, testthem financially and show howto gain developer interest.

Hills seniors in which stu-dents identify a problemrelated to their future ca-reers and then create a so-lution to the issue. Spitzfa-den plans to study specialeducation at Miami Uni-versity in Oxford, and shesaid the problem shefound was that some indi-viduals with special needsare not provided appro-priate therapy and are leftsuffering from depres-sion and anxiety.
“I thought it would begreat to have specialneeds students be able tocome down here (the sta-bles) and experiencesomething unique,” shesaid.
In her visits to LoveQuest with her friend, shesaid she witnessed first-hand how interacting withthe horse boosted herfriend’s confidence andhelped bring him out ofhis shell.
“I’ve seen him open upso much,” she said.
“He cleans the horse,grooms the horse, ridesthe horse and walks thehorse around to loosen itup.
“He gets to be more in-dependent and lead thehorse. He has to takecharge,” Spitzfaden said.
Green Township resi-dent Thomas Gramke, ex-ecutive director of LoveQuest Children’s Founda-tion, said he formed thenonprofit organization 22years ago. He was work-ing in the medical market-ing fieldand happened tostop by a Midwesternhorse stable that hostedan equine-assisted thera-py program.
“I looked over to thisbarn and I saw all these
kids coming in on wheel-chairs and I thought tomyself, ‘Now, what wouldthese kids being doingwith horses,’” he said.
“They all had bigsmiles on their faces.Then what I saw was thescience of it.”
Numerous medicalstudies have shown amarked improvement inhealth and behavior whena person with specialneeds takes part in a ther-apeutic riding program,he said. The rhythmic mo-tion of riding a horsehelps those with physicalneeds improve flexibility,balance and musclestrength, and he said forthose with emotional chal-lenges the relationshipformed with a horse canlead to more confidence,patience and self-esteem.
Gramke became a cer-tified instructor throughthe North American Rid-ing for the HandicappedAssociation and over theyears has helped thou-sands of people with spe-
cial needs. He said someof the disabilities equine-assisted therapy servesinclude attention deficitand hyperactivity disor-der, autism, cerebral pal-sy, developmental delay,hearing impairment, spi-na bifida, muscular dys-trophy, multiple sclerosisand post traumatic stressdisorder.
“There are not a lot ofprograms like this in thearea for people with dis-abilities,” he said, notinghe’s working to grow thefoundation to help morepeople.
“We know there is anopportunity to grow thisand better serve the West-ern Hills area.”
Spitzfaden said shewas so impressed with thework Love Quest doesthat she enlisted mem-bers of the equestrianclub and partners club atOak Hills to volunteer onthe weekends.
She said she wantsmore people on the WestSide to know about thefoundation and its thera-py programs. Her experi-ence with the foundationand her project has rein-forced her desire to workin special education, shesaid.
“My end goal for mycapstone project is to, af-ter I leave Oak Hills, havethe relationship betweenOak Hills and Love Questcontinue. I hope someonenext year will take it onand lead it,” Spitzfadensaid.

Oak Hills Local SchoolDistrict believes it willsave $373,000 a year byupgrading districtschools and buildings tobe more energy efficientthrough a partnershipwith Energy Optimizers,USA, a Tipp City-basedenergy and conservationcompany that specializesin working with K-12school districts.
At the same time, thepartnership seeks to ex-pose students to the fast-growing STEM fields.
“As a leader in educa-tion, it’s incumbent on usto also take a leadership
role in making smart in-vestments in smart ener-gy,” Oak Hills Superinten-dent Todd Yohey said in apress release.
Savings will be recog-nized in the general fundfor utility and mainte-nance costs, assuming us-age consumption and util-ity rates remain at exist-ing levels.
Energy Optimizersmakes education a com-ponent to the majority ofits public school energyconservation projects.The company will fundthe launch of a “GreenTeam” in Oak Hills to edu-
cate students about ener-gy management conceptsand careers in STEM (Sci-ence, Technology, Engi-neering and Math) fields.
Oak Hills will issuedebt payments of$330,000 annually over a15 years from its Perma-nent Improvement Fundto pay for the project.
Energy conservationsteps include the replace-ment of interior lightingwith more efficient lampsand the removal of un-needed lamps to cutwaste, replacement of ex-terior lighting with LEDtechnology and the instal-
lation of energy efficientkitchen measures.
Installation of a solarthermal system to heatthe high school’s swim-ming pool and block heat-er controls for the bus ter-minals are also part of theproject.
“Building systems arebecoming more efficient;it just makes sense to take
advantage of these im-provements to make ouroperations as cost-effec-tive as possible,” OakHills Operations DirectorJohn Beckemeyer said.
The project will inte-grate the Energy StarPortfolio Manager sys-tem to track energy usageand performance.
“In our classrooms, we
stress innovation andreal-world experience,”Yohey said. “What betterway to expose students toboth than through an ener-gy management projectthat will allow students toview the energy perfor-mance of their buildingsin real time while learningmore about STEM-basedcareers?”
Oak Hills to make schools more energy efficient
Township leaders willbegin creating a new landuse plan and adjusting thetownship’s zoning resolu-tion to encourage favor-able development andlimit unfavorable devel-opment along the pike.The plan will include amix of retail, office andresidential uses.
“When we talk abouturban development wereally are talking aboutcreating that urban envi-ronment,” Kearney said.“It is the area where thecommunity comes togeth-er, lives together, cele-brates together, shops,works together, plays to-gether, and that is the areawe really like to workwithin existing communi-ties. We like to build thatenvironment.”
Delhi resident WaltHughes recommends thetownship involve Mount
St. Joseph University inits redevelopment plan.
“I may be missing it,but I wondered why theMount seems to have verylittle impact on the busi-ness district,” he said.“Before I retired I trav-eled Ohio, Kentucky andIndiana and visited manycollege towns, and therewere students every-where along with busi-nesses that seemed to at-tract them.”
Hughes said he wouldalso like to see Delhi Flow-er & Garden Center re-turn to the township.
“Remember the trafficit brought into Delhi,” hesaid.
Township residentBeth Caster said the town-ship would become a des-tination if it were to devel-op an indoor 50-meterswimming facility.
“A facility like thiswould be able to host lo-cal, state, regional and na-tional level competitions.Just think of the revenuegenerated from families
all over the nation comingto Delhi for a weekendcompetition.”
Trustee Cheryl Sievesaid redeveloping DelhiPike is a matter of surviv-al for the township and,unlike previous conceptplans, officials are deter-mined to see this strategicplan put into action.
“What separates thisplan from any the town-ship has done before is itsfocus on implementation,on achieving the goals ofthe residents of Delhi,”she said.
“This contains nextstep, next step, next step,and the big piece of it isthat it requires we allcome together and listenand learn and have ouropinions heard on wherewe want our communityto go.”

WEST PRICE HILL — Thedays of annual rush par-ties, pledging, secret ritu-als and hell nights arelong gone from WesternHills High School, but thememories from the by-gone era of sororities andfraternities live on in for-mer members.
From 1928 through1981, Western Hills HighSchool was home to sever-al sorority and fraternityorganizations. Many pub-lic schools back then hadsororities and fraterni-ties, which were often thecenter of social life.
The sororities at West-ern Hills included TauSigma Chi, Pi Delta Phi,Sub Deb and Theta AlphaPi. Fraternities includedTriginta Optimi, Chi Ome-ga Sigma, Phi Delta Sigmaand Tri-Chi.
A group of WesternHills alumni have put outacall to all the school’s for-mer sorority and fraterni-ty members for the annu-al Fraternity-SororityFamily and Friends Pic-nic. Former members areinvited to stop by to recon-nect and share storiesfrom their glory days.
The picnic will takeplace rain or shine fromnoon to 6 p.m. Sunday,May 17, at the RiverviewShelter House at Fern-bank Park, 50 ThorntonAve., Sayler Park.
“If you belonged,you’re invited,” event co-
ordinator Ken Kay, a 1961Western Hills graduateand member of TrigintaOptimi fraternity, said ina press release.
“Last year was terrific.Over 100 members fromthe 1940s through the1970s attended. This yearwe hope to double the at-tendance by reaching outto invite every former so-rority and fraternitymember, and their familyand friends.”
Those who attend areasked to bring their ownfood and drinks. Alcoholis permitted. Grills andcharcoal will be provided.
The picnic will includecornhole, horseshoes andgames for children.
Alumni from the Tri-ginta Optimi fraternitystarted the annual picnicthree years ago.
Chi Omega Sigma fra-ternity alumni then joinedin the sponsorship, and acommittee representingmany of the organizationsformed to jointly locatemembers and plan the fes-tivities.
For those who are un-able to attend this year,Kay said the picnic is al-ways held the Sunday af-ter Mother’s Day at Fern-bank Park, so mark calen-dars in advance for nextyear.
“Reconnecting andreminiscing is a guaran-teed good time,” he said.

Seton High School seniorBrittany Oestreicher is a final-ist for the 2015 Simon LazarusJr., Human Relations Awardbased on her work and ad-vocacy for individuals withautism.
Oestreicher is committed toraising awareness and accep-tance thanks to inspiration byher brother, Jacob, who is au-tistic. She volunteers as ateacher for a chess club forchildren with disabilities. Shespends her time doing sensoryand lifestyle games and activ-ities with children on the au-tism spectrum at a local center.She works at day camps duringthe summer with children withdisabilities, and she has shad-owed different therapists tolearn about characteristics andtraits of certain disabilities.
Additionally, Oestreicherhas embraced her work in hersenior project and has hadgreat success.
“Seton requires a seniorproject that lasts the entireyear, and that project feedsyour passion and helps others,”saidd Oestreicher. “Without adoubt, I knew my projectwould revolve around helpingindividuals with autism. I real-ly wanted to make a differencein society and tear down thebarrier of judgment. I knew Icouldn’t do something smallfor this project because I hadbig expectations for myself inmind. I wanted my project tomean something for thosesurrounding me.”
Oestreicher conducted afundraiser at Orange Leaf andwith the Ken Anderson Foun-dation at Holy Grail, where shewas able to raise over $4,000.She and her project mentor,Q102’s Jenn Jordan, talked liveon the air to raise awareness
prior to the fundraiser. Theyalso spoke to students at Setonabout what it is like to live withsomeone who is autistic. Oes-
treicher is very grateful toJordan for all of her incrediblesupport. They both have beeninvited to speak at other
schools now as well. “Brittany continually em-
bodies her purpose of being avoice for the voiceless.
Through her work to raiseawareness and funds for agen-cies assisting individuals withautism, Brittany enlisted helpfrom radio personalities andlocal community leaders tohost a benefit. Overall, shedeeply understands the vitalneed of these agencies in thecommunity and thus, aims togive back through direct andindirect volunteer experi-ences,” said Seton Englishteacher and Senior ProjectCoordinator Christine Brook-bank, who accompanied Oes-treicher to the recognitionceremony.
With graduation just aroundthe corner, Oestreicher saidthat her work towards autismawareness will continue.
“My volunteer work withchildren with disabilities willnot end in high school; rather itis only the beginning of myjourney,” said Oestreicher, whowill be majoring in SpeechPathology at The University ofCincinnati next year. “Thispath was not only chosenthrough the guidance of mybrother, but I have a passion towant to help others with dis-abilities. As a Speech Patholo-gist I will be able to give indi-viduals with disabilities moreconfidence to realize that theyare so much more than theirdisability and that they canachieve anything they set theirmind to,” she added. “Fightingto break the barrier of judg-ment will give these individ-uals the strength and courageto pursue their dreams andgoals in life. My dream is tonot only directly helping indi-viduals, but also to help all ofsociety. With so much unique-ness and individuality in soci-ety, I believe one day barrierswill be broken and this worldwill be a more welcoming andaccepting world to live in.”

I’m pretty sure you won’t see a photo like the mo-rels pictured here just anywhere.
What a bounty! Of course, I can’t tellyou where we forage for them, but takemy word for it: they were huge and agourmet treat.
Morels are going for about $60 apound right now. Jean Robert de Cavelhas them on his menu, and other chefslucky enough to have a source are do-ing the same thing. But it’s fun to knowthat a country girl and her friends canenjoy the whole process, from foragingto eating.
Here’s my simple recipe with op-tions for using other mushrooms. Mushrooms containantioxidants and vitamin D, which lots of folks havein short supply.
Readers want to knowWhat is an easy way to chop mint and basil without
making it turn dark?The reason herbs turn dark after chopping is that
they oxidize - the cut parts exposed to air turn dark asthey sit. To quickly chop a lot of mint or basil, stackseveral leaves and roll them up tight long ways, like acigar. Then slice width-wise into narrow pieces tomake long thin strips, also called julienne slices. Chopthe strips again for smaller slices, or leave them as isand you’ll get pretty ribbons of herbs.

Rita has a secret morel patch, whip up lasagna for 2Sautéed gourmet mushrooms
Delicious as a side, or an appetizer on good qualitytoast. Try them as a topping for grilled steak. If you arelucky enough to have morels, let them soak about 10minutes in water with a bit of salt added. This makes allthe little creatures that might be in the mushrooms leavetheir happy abode.
Then drain, rinse and drain again. Dry thoroughlyand cut into halves or quarters. If you are using the mixedwild mushroom blends, slice as necessary.
Now this is a go to taste recipe. Use a large skillet sothat mushrooms cook quickly without steaming. I tossed insome watercress from our spring-fed pool right at the end.
Jean Robert adds a splash of liqueur. I sometimes adda splash of brandy while the mushrooms are cooking.
8 oz. mushrooms1/4 cup butter or bit more if needed - I usually add
more1 small shallot, minced1 teaspoon garlic, mincedSalt and pepper to tasteHeavy whipping cream, unwhipped (optional)Parsley chopped (optional)
Heat butter and add shallots and garlic together.Cook over low heat until shallots are tender but notbrown. Add everything but cream and cook over mediumheat until mushrooms are tender. Add cream to taste andlet it cook a bit until desired consistency is reached.

preme Court will rule on theissue of same-sex marriage?How should they rule?
“Against.”Mary Ann Maloney
“I hope they rule in favor ofit. It really is the final move-ment towards civil rights forall. With the court split interms of right and left it willcome down basically to JusticeKennedy’s vote and hopefullyhe will chose to be on the rightside of history.
“People can use the Biblicalpassages as their defense forheterosexual union, however inone of the oft-cited passages,one should not not work onSundays, wear clothes ofmixed thread or eat shell fish.From that stand point RedLobsters should be picketeddaily, yet I don’t see it.
“Gay marriage will in noway diminish heterosexualmarriage. I don’t understandthat argument. I feel thatreligious institutions can stillcome out against it, but to doso will only point out howbigoted the institutions are.
“I look towards the newcovenant teachings of Christand he had nothing to say ongay marriage. He did havesomething to say about thedifficulty of the rich gettinginto heaven comparing it tobeing more difficult than acamel passing through theeye of a needle. I don’t seepeople picketing mansions orstanding next to luxury autosover in Kenwood telling peo-ple to repent.
“It is time to gay marriageis accepted and religious
institutions either accept it oradmit that they are selectivein terms of what they chooseto focus on Biblically.”
C.S.
“I believe they will ruleagainst it, as they should inrespect for the thousands ofyears of societal norms, rath-er than trying to prove theyhave a ‘better idea.’ The legalramifications of allowing thisnew legal status opens toomany possibilities for long-established taboos on animalaffection, pedophilia, closerelative unions and concernsover widespread abuse of thetax system and destruction ofhealth care systems.”
D.B.
“I believe the SupremeCourt will recognize mar-riage as the union of two peo-ple who love, honor, supportand respect each other. Suchfaithful partnerships benefitall cultures and societiescontributing to harmony andworld peace.”
Marie Hill
“I feel that the SupremeCourt will approve same sex
marriage. Why?, because it isgoing to be pushed andpushed down our throats untilwe have every state accept-ing it. That does not make itright. And I am against it b/cone of the reasons man andwoman get married is to havea family. Children need amom who is female and a dadwho is male, period. Not twomen who say they are momand dad or two women whosay they are mom and dad.
“And I do not think thatpeople are born gay. It is achoice they make. The sameholds true with transgenders.Why can’t we be happy withthe gender that our Lordmade us to be. Kids are beingsubjected to this kind ofthinking that there is some-thing wrong with them sothey want to be gay or trans-gender. I feel so sorry for mygrandchildren to live in aculture where anything goeswith no restrictions or laws. Iam totally against the Su-preme Court ruling in favorof same sex marriage.”
D.M.H.
“In 2013 the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that marriedsame-sex couples were enti-tled to federal benefits and,by declining to decide a casefrom California, effectivelyallowed same-sex marriagesthere. I suspect they willagain rule ‘in favor’ of samesex marriage across all 50states. The United States wasfounded on the separation ofchurch and state. While theremay be religious teachingsagainst this practice, thecourt will look at the U.S.Constitution not the Bible.”

Despite the occasionalchilly night, spring has final-ly arrived in Cincinnati.
Trees are turning green,while daffodils blossom andcolorful tulip are abound. The
display marksthe start ofthe seasonand is a trig-ger for al-lergies inmany. Nearly40 millionpeople sufferfrom seasonalallergies, alsoknown as hayfever, withsymptomssuch as a
stuffy, runny nose, itchyeyes, and sneezing andwheezing. Tree allergy sea-son will continue until lateMay or early June followedby grass season until mid-July.
Hate Ragweed, well youwon’t have to contend with ituntil mid-August. So whatcan we do about allergies butcomplain?
There are several inexpen-sive over-the-counter medica-tions which include lorata-dine, fexofenadine and cetiri-zine and readily available atyour drug store or super-market. Since it’s better toprevent a condition than totreat it, people who sufferfrom seasonal allergiesshould consider taking thosemedications before theirsymptoms start, since theyblock the action of histaminereceptors normally activated
by pollen.Decongestants, popular
with some, are not recom-mended for treating aller-gies. They can cause an in-crease in blood pressure andpulse and if taken through aspray for more than a coupleof days, they might cause anincrease in nasal discharge.
Steroid nasal sprays, anti-histamines or a combinationof the two can ease a runnynose or itchy eyes. The smellor taste of these medicationscan be a bother for some andit’s always important to readtheir labels to determineproper use and avoid un-wanted side effect.
If over-the-counter pills ornasals sprays fail to do thetrick there are medicationsyou doctor can prescribe.One of them is montelukast(Singulair) which is mainlyused for asthma. Allergysufferers might also benefitfrom short-term use of ster-oids. These are reserved forthe most severe cases. Al-lergists can also prescribeallergy shots or immunother-apy to lessen your body’sreaction to allergens.

U.S. did not win theland
Reading another goodcolumn by Betty Kamuf (Co-lumbia Power Station), I feelshe misspoke when shewrote, “When the UnitedStates won the land from theIndians in 1785.”
It should have read, “Whenthe United States confiscat-ed/stole the land from theIndians in 1785.”
I’m sure Betty was justbeing politically correct how-ever, since doing my families’genealogy, I’m discovering alot about our nation’s history
that were not fully explainedin our school history courses.
I’ve always heard a pur-chase was based on a fairprice paid to a willing seller.There’s no historical evi-dence the Indians were nei-ther willing sellers nor thatthey were paid a fair price.
The instigator of the 1785Ordinance was Thomas Jef-ferson, then the third presi-dent of the United States. TJwas both a politician and alawyer. Enough said!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
There was a period justafter World War II, and beforeVietnam, when a gas stationattendant could support a fam-ily of four on 85 cents per hour(7 days per week); that isroughly $2,500 annually!
There were no food stamps;there were no anti-povertyprograms, as we know themtoday. If you needed more mon-ey, you got a second job.
Dwight Eisenhower waspresident for eight of thoseyears. You have Ike and Con-gress to thank for every mile of
freeway in theUS. It was thelargest publicworks projectin the world.
The musicwas quite dif-ferent: PerryComo – “Be-cause,” VaughnMonroe - “RedRoses For A
Blue Lady,” Andrews Sistersand Gordon Jenkins - “I CanDream, Can’t I,” Nat King Cole- “Too Young,” Rosemary Cloo-
ney - “Half As Much,” JohnnieRay – “Cry,” Frankie Laine -“High Noon;’ Eartha Kitt -“C’est Si Bon,” Frank Sinatra -“Young At Heart,” Four Aces -“Stranger In Paradise,” Ten-nessee Ernie Ford - “SixteenTons,” etc.....
There were many more carmodels available: Buick, Cadil-lac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Des-oto, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Hud-son, International Harvester,Jeep, Lincoln, Navistar, AMC,Auburn, Crosley, Edsel, Frazer,Jaguar, Kaiser, Mercedes, Mer-
cury, Nash, Oldsmobile, Pack-ard, Plymouth, Pontiac, Ram-bler, REO, Studebaker, Tucker,Willys and more.
These cars could be main-tained with a few simple tools,at home, by almost anyone whowanted to. They were relativelysimple, inexpensive and safe.
Today, it is not possible for aminimum wage worker to earna living that will pay their mod-est expenses? We have muchmore regulation. Our cars canno longer be serviced under ashade tree. Also, the dollar has
greatly depreciated, due towars, waste and greed.
We need to increase theminimum wage to between $15and $20 per hour. In the ‘50sbread was 23 cents a loaf, gaswas 25 cents a gallon, and youcould rent a home in a safeneighborhood for $50 to $65/month. Pumping gas is lesswork than flipping burgers.Pay them a living wage! In-crease prices!

PRICE HILL — Since the incep-tion of her softball career, SetonHigh School senior Abby Lamp-ing had always witnessed thegame from a distinct, on-fieldperspective. That was until abroken ankle in the secondscrimmage of her junior seasonrevised how she saw the game.
The injury, which sidelinedher for the entire season, al-lowed her to see the game inways she’d never seen before.
“The biggest benefit (of theinjury) was it gave me a wholenew perspective of the game,”Lamping said. “Normally, I’mjust a player and I don’t see thegame from that angle … I got adeeper look into it.”
Lamping shattered her anklein an early-morning game,when the plate was coveredwith dew. When she stepped onhome plate, her foot slid andcaught the lip of the plate. Sheknew instantly it was bad.
“My parents knew it too,”Lamping remembered. “I wasdown on the ground and I wasn’tgetting back up.”
She knew her junior seasonwas lost, but Lamping’s hopewas to return for summer ball.
“She knew the summer be-fore senior year was the time toget recruited,” Seton coachChrissy Riggins said. “(Before
the injury) she had never reallysat down and watched a game …she got the chance to sit downand watch, and really learn thegame.”
Lamping, who said it’s beenher dream to play college soft-ball since she started playingserious summer ball, was ableto return in the summer andnow she’s signed with Ohio Do-minican. Lamping said her firstweekend back, she pitched 15innings, and that “surpassed ev-erything the doctor expected.”
A successful surgery, fol-lowed by rehab has allowedLamping a chance at a seniorseason, and she hasn’t squan-dered the opportunity. She’sleading the Girls GreaterCatholic League in RBI (29),doubles (10), ERA (1.47), strike-outs (153) and shutouts (five).Her 14 wins rank second in theleague and she’s hitting .397 forthe Saints who sit at 14-8.
“Her coach ability and herwork ethic,” is what sets Lamp-ing apart, Riggins said. “She’salways very receptive of anycriticism. She asks good ques-tions and plays as much softballas she can. She just really has apassion.”
Seton came in second placein the GGCL, behind McAuley.If the Saints can win their firsttwo postseason games, theycould have another shot atMcAuley in the sectional final.

MONFORT HEIGHTS —There’s no doubting what LaSalle High School can do on thebaseball diamond. The Lanc-ers have played their way intothe conversation of the area’stop teams. They’ve done thatby beating the top teams.
La Salle’s won 17 games (asof May 7) and they've beatenMoeller (No. 1), Mason (No. 3),Elder (No. 4) and Colerain (No.7) this season, all of whom fin-ished ranked in the top-10 ofThe Enquirer Division I areacoaches’ final poll.
The Lancers’ success mayseem surprising to some, butnot to sixth-year head coachJoe Voegele. “They play hard— that’s something that doesn’tsurprise me,” said Voegele,who went on to say he has beenslightly surprised by his pitch-ing staff. Coming into the year,Voegele said, they only had acouple seniors coming backand few juniors with some in-nings under their belts.
“I’m pretty pleased with theway the pitching’s developed,”Voegele said.
Senior Logan Brauning,along with juniors Jake Kaiserand Jake Barford, have beenimpressive. Brauning’s 3-0with a 1.24 ERA. Kaiser’s 4-0with a 1.57 ERA, and Barford’s2-0 with a 1.65 ERA. Senior Bri-an Schwankhaus has proved tobe a top-of-the-line starter.
Schwankhaus is 5-1 with a1.13 ERA, his only loss was 1-0to Moeller. Senior Nick Ernst,who’s signed with Miami Uni-
versity, struggled in somespots early in the season, butVoegele said he’s looked betterlately.
The Lancers are led at theplate by senior Anthony Bell’s.426 average, (ranks second inthe Greater Catholic LeagueSouth) and 26 RBI (leads GCL-South). Eric Greene (.358), Ni-gel Williams (21 RBI), AndrewSexton (.353), Alec Lane (.357)and Tim Casey (.333) all helpbolster La Salle’s lineup.
Beating the best not onlymakes La Salle a dangerousplayoff team, it also makesthem a target. Depth in the ro-tation will certainly help, butVoegele wants his team to pushthe pedal and finish games.
“We’ve lost three games (ofsix total) going into the last in-ning. We have to learn to finishgames if we’re gonna do well inthe tournament,” said Voegele.
La Salle jumped in Elder’ssectional bracket, meaning ifthe Panthers and Lancers wintheir first-round games, theywould meet in a sectional final.
“We know what to expect,we feel we match up with themreal well. Basically, it’s a chal-lenge to our guys. (Shane)Smith (Elder’s ace) is as goodas anybody in the city, but wefelt (that bracket) was the bestroute to go,” Voegele ex-plained. “You have to win to getthere … there’s no sure thing ofus playing Elder.”

Hannah Beiting and Carly Perr-mann, 15-year-olds and freshmen atSeton High School, started volun-teering at Bethany House Serviceslast year as weekly readers to thechildren at Bethany’s emergencyshelter for homeless families.
“They looked forward to readingwith the children each week and be-came very committed to making adifference and helping the home-less in our community,” said SusanSchiller, Bethany House executivedirector.
Hannah and Carly continued asweekly readers, but decided theywanted to do more for Bethany.Their plan was to remodel the play-room by installing carpet, provid-ing books, games and toys, andpainting murals on the walls of thechildren’s favorite characters andanimals. They also planned to have
an in-ground basketball system in-stalled. Next, they needed to securefunding and donations to make thispossible.
They were awarded a DisneyFriends for Change Youth Grantthrough Youth Service America.This grant supported the two teensin leading a community service pro-ject for Global Youth Service Day.
They also received generous do-nations from local businesses in-cluding McSwain Carpets & Floors,who donated the carpeting, andPete DeLois’ Recreations Outletwho donated the basketball systemand seats for the swing sets. Familyand friends donated books and toys.Donations from area caterers andgrocery stores provided the foodfor the dinner party for the home-less families and volunteers as theteens unveiled the new playroom.
